The appointment is at least the third global hire this year for the investment bank.

The move comes after the law firm promoted two of its professionals, whose work includes secondaries, in January.

The private equity stalwart has appointed former Investec fund financing veteran Tom Glover to help grow a GP and NAV-based lending strategy.

The Swiss interdealer-broker brings its secondaries advisory team to 10 members and plans to add more in the coming months.

The law firm has promoted Ed Ford, who in the last year has advised on GP-led transactions worth billions in transaction value, to bolster its secondaries capabilities.

Dave Philipp has been with the firm since 2013.

The hire will help the firm expand, with an emphasis on GP-leds, access to the secondaries market for private clients and smaller institutions.

Whitehorse, Morningside, MJ Hudson and Proskauer Rose are among the firms represented on affiliate title PEI’s list of most impressive people under 40.

The credit mammoth expects to cross-market strategies between its and Landmark Partners' respective client bases, chief executive Michael Arougheti said.

The Northern Europe-focused firm invests in tech-enabled businesses and has evidenced ESG as a strategic priority with recent hires.
